The team placed its captain on the injured list Saturday with a flexor strain in his right elbow. . According to New York Post columnist John Heyman, the best-case scenario is a 10-day shutdown, followed by another 10 days of designated hitter duty before Judge returns to full outfield action.
De Los Santos landed on the injured list in mid-June due to elbow discomfort, but after two rehab outings in the minors, he'll now rejoin the Yankees' bullpen. The 27-year-old carries a 1.80 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP through 20 innings with New York this year and should take on a middle-relief role now that he's healthy.
